Greetings everyone, my name is Travis, but professionally I go by the name Running Bear Steel. I have been frequenting these forums for almost two years now, and figured it was past time to formally introduce myself and my work.
I have been forging knives for a few years out of my garage/shop in upstate NY. I tend to focus on utility type blades, and I love to add color whenever possible. I like working with simple steels (1084 & 5160), as well as making cable damascus. I also do all my own sheath work, whether leather or Kydex.
Now on to a few of my knives.
Forged from 1084, this knife is 8 1/2" overall with a 3 1/4" cutting edge, and has a hand rubbed scotchbrite finish. The handle is coyote/black G10 with black G10 pins and liners. The knife comes wrapped in a simple leather sheath for right hand carry. I also have a Kydex sheath available. I'm asking $175 shipped is the U.S.
Forged from 1084, this knife is 10 1/2" overall with a 5 1/4" cutting edge and has a cold blued finish. The sculpted handle is toxic green/black G10 with black G10 pins and liners. The knife comes wrapped in a simple black leather sheath. I'm asking $200 shipped in the U.S.
Forged from 1084, this knife is a drop point harpoon style. It's 10 7/8" overall, is 5 5/8" from tip to plunge, and has a hand rubbed scotchbrite finish. The handle is red/black G10, with black G10 pins and liners. This one comes ready to go in a black leather sheath, setup for right hand carry. I'm asking SOLD shipped in the U.S.
